Psalms 42:9
I say to God my Rock,
What it says
He asks God his rock why he has been forgotten and why he must mourn under oppression.
What it is doing
This verse turns confidence back into direct complaint.
In context
1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. 2My soul thirsts for God, the living God. 3My tears have been my food 4These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: 5Why are you downcast, O my soul? 6O my God, my soul despairs within me. 7Deep calls to deep 8The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, 9I say to God my Rock, 10Like the crushing of my bones, 11Why are you downcast, O my soul?
